It's been a couple days since Game 7, and I think I am over the Bruins' elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Quite frankly, I was simply surprised that it went this far, especially given Montreal's dominance over the Black and Gold this season.

Congratulations to the Canadiens for a great series, and the best of luck against the Flyers in round two. The Flyers have a heavy Springfield connection: former Falcons Danny Briere and Patrick Thoresen on the ice and former Falcon John Stevens behind the bench as head coach.

Another intriguing series features Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers. Even though these two teams play countless times as Atlantic Division rivals, it should still be interesting to see the reaction former Penguin Jaromir Jagr gets in a postseason series in the Igloo.
